USA vs Canada(then British Empire) was the first international cricket match and the first international match in any sport in 1884.

The last part of that can't be right. England were playing Scotland in football and rugby well before that.

Because as we get older we have selective hearing.. It tends to filter out criticism and general moaning but amplifies compliments and such like...

In Britain when you take a shit in the toilet it makes its way to a sewage treatment plant where it goes through a complex process to be turned into fertilizer. When you are in the countryside and can smell poo it is not cows, it is actually human poo that has been spread on crops.

Enjoy your sunday lunch veg guys.

The expression "to be packed like sardines" exists in several languages. I know for certain that it exists in french and spanish...there were more but I don't remember them.

In Portuguese as well, ahah.

Here it is "hacinados como vacas/ganado/animales" which translates into "crammed like cows/cattle/animals" but the meaning it's the same, yeah.

@nudge does it exist in any of your languages?

Yes, exactly the same expression in Lithuanian (kaip silkės statinėje), German (wie Sardinen in der Büchse), Russian (как сельди в бочке). 

There are surprisingly many expressions that are shared in multiple languages (and not only those that are connected!), and I always wondered about it; did every culture develop them independently, or were those just shared between languages/cultures at some point? Similar to how we seem to share similar myths, legends, fairy tales; it's fascinating.
